Frankly I think the provincial parks should charge for passes.
It's hard to take that stance when they replace the logo and spend millions changing signs, stationary, etc. Then they cut off a huge source of revenue for an entire year.
At the very least if they wanted to go this route, make it free of charge for Canadian residents so you're still getting money from tourism. Or free for July/Aug. The whole year is absurd.

Yeah I guess, but that seems like a bit of a different issue. I would like to see more parks funding and things like that, but its a cool thing to do for the 150th birthday I think.

I know, its not much of a sales pitch, but it does make a big difference to the bottom line this year I bet.
